Japan name injured Mitoma in Asian Cup squad alongside 21 players from European clubs
January 3 – Japan have called up Brighton and Hove Albion standout forward Kaoru Mitoma for their Asian Cup squad despite Mitoma currently being sidelined by injury.
How long he will be out seems to be a matter of whether you are from Brighton or Japan.
Brighton manager Roberto de Zerbi says he is “surprised” by the call up after saying his medical staff said Mitoma would be out for four to six weeks with an ankle injury received on December 21 against Crystal Palace.
